@jerryburg2333 Год назад

So happy for you Jinkx! You’re a great casting choice for this role!

@garydiamond8124 Год назад

Jinx was meant for the stage on broadway..all we need now is a new film musical of La Cage with jinx in it

@markcooke729 Год назад

I'd LOVE to see Jinkx as Mama Morton! My partner and I were privileged to see her twice in the space of a month in Lancaster UK & it was a fabulous show! We both met her and Major Scales which was a huge treat, AND had our pictures taken with them both, cheek kisses allowed too! Come back soon Jinkx! XXXXX

@TheQueerReview Год назад

How fabulous, what wonderful memories & you have the photos to treasure too! :)

@jeanalzaidi908 Год назад

I'm so happy for jinkx,I know that it's always been her dream to make it on broadway congrats jerick we love you

@chunk1179 Год назад

this color on jinx is stunning

@michaelmccaslin6291 Год назад

I’ve always wanted to play Mama Rose but I think Jinkx would be perfect to play Mama Rose!

@lindashapanka6229 Год назад

In very early theater, men played all the roles. The humor in Shakespeare In Love is based on this. Jinkx is just being historically/hertorically correct. Would love to see her.

@rosiecostello8971 Год назад

God I love her so much! Thank you, thank you, thank you for this interview🙏

@giggles7179 Год назад

Wait - she's playing MATRON MAMA MORTON?!? Holy $#!t! I don't think a queen's ever gotten higher in the Chicago cast list than Mary Sunshine! Well, there IS Richard Gere in the film, of course, but I digress....This really is a stunning development.

@slicunit Год назад

Comments like this make me smile. The children need more literature like yours. 💗

@haywardgarner4850 Год назад

I love this! Thank you Jinkx for hammering against the idea that you have to identify a certain way to play a certain character. Powerful!

@RonnieStewartJr Год назад

Jinkx, you’re incredible. I resonated so much with what you said.

@jjbb4546 Год назад

So sweet, lovely and patient.

@saucytruffle4738 Год назад

Jinkx: says something very poignant and insightful “hahAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAA” Nothing but respect for MY president

@normalizenatalie Год назад

we're coming to opening night and i can't wait!

@TheQueerReview Год назад

Amazing!! Enjoy & let us know how it was :)

@kellyhamergia Год назад

She will get a Tony!😍😍😍

@natalieJe10 Год назад

I hate the time their in Chicago! Ugh Phantom is leaving Broadway and I spent all my "extra" money getting a ticket (with a discount lol). I hope and honestly expect they will be FANTASTIC in Chicago! That voice is a bombshell ♥️♥️

@porkchopjp Год назад

so well deserved!

@Marcel_Audubon Год назад

Just realized that it's tomorrow! Break a leg!

@Thedrcatwoman Год назад

Great Interview!

@TheQueerReview Год назад

Thanks for watching! So glad you enjoyed it.

@hoorayitsjackie6166 Год назад

I’d be willing to bet that most folks watching the show wouldn’t know for sure that Jinkx is a drag Queen unless they were told before hand.

@nikohernandez1651 Год назад

I can’t wait to see how **** mother is in this interview💚

@amylou22snowhite Год назад

I have my tickets!

@TheQueerReview Год назад

Amazing! Hope you have a blast.

@broadwaywes Год назад

There’s literally a Drag character in the show already….

@Priasbcbeist Год назад

Peppermint was on Broadway?

@normalizenatalie Год назад

yes she originated a role in a broadway play based on the go-gos that now gets performed in like high schools and stuff, she said it was a really queer play in its contents

@michaelmccaslin6291 Год назад

I thought she was nominated for a Tony.

@hanssolos3699 Год назад

@edreid7872 Год назад

Stay away from the edibles Jinkx..😅

@wireframe01 Год назад

The hair color…. And I’m sure Jinx could do the voice, but Lois from Family guy 😮

@mikegarcia597 Год назад

Tbh she could of been Roxy too

@mywalterego9248 Год назад

"Drag Herstory" except for the fact that the big twist at the end of Chicago is that Mary Sunshine is actually a man. lol

@TheQueerReview Год назад

Oh yes of course, but this is the first time a drag artist has played the role of Mama Morton in Chicago on Broadway in the 26 years of this current production, so that's where the "herstory" comes in :)

@tlw1950 Год назад

He’s lost some weight. It’s very becoming.

@Marcel_Audubon Год назад

does she have some kinda bustle on the back of her head??

@FunInTheSun8 Год назад

I've seen Chicago the musical 3 times, and if I am being completely honest; it's such a horrible musical on stage. There's no set, there aren't great costumes, minimal props, and having the orchestra on the stage is so damn distracting. I really wish it was "umphed up" more. But, break a leg Jinkx. You'll be great.
